Objectives
Part 1: Set Up the Topology and Initialize Devices Set up equipment to match the network topology. Initialize and restart the router and switch. Part 2: Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity Assign static IP information to the PC interfaces. Configure the router. Verify network connectivity. Part 3: Display Device Information Retrieve hardware and software information from the network devices. Interpret the output from the routing table. Display interface information on the router. Display a summary list of the interfaces on the router and switch.
Background / Scenario
This is a comprehensive lab to review previously covered IOS commands. In this lab, you will cable the equipment as shown in the topology diagram. You will then configure the devices to match the addressing table. After the configurations have been saved, you will verify your configurations by testing for network connectivity. After the devices have been configured and network connectivity has been verified, you will use IOS commands to retrieve information from the devices to answer questions about your network equipment.

Lab - Building a Switch and Router Network This lab provides minimal assistance with the actual commands necessary to configure the router. However, the required commands are provided in Appendix A. Test your knowledge by trying to configure the devices without referring to the appendix. Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the correct interface identifiers. Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. Refer to Appendix B for the procedure to initialize and reload a router and switch.
Required Resources
1 Router (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable) 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable) 2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term) Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports Ethernet cables as shown in the topology Note: The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on Cisco 1941 routers are autosensing and an Ethernet straightthrough cable may be used between the router and PC-B. If using another model Cisco router, it may be necessary to use an Ethernet crossover cable.

Lab - Building a Switch and Router Network c. Ping PC-B from a command prompt window on PC-A. Why were the pings not successful?
d. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names. e. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password. f. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.
g. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login. h. Encrypt the clear text passwords. i. j. k. l. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited. Configure and activate both interfaces on the router. Configure an interface description for each interface indicating which device is connected to it. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
m. Set the clock on the router. Note: Use the question mark (?) to help with the correct sequence of parameters needed to execute this command. n. Ping PC-B from a command prompt window on PC-A. Were the pings successful? Why?
Step 1: Retrieve hardware and software information from the network devices.
a. Use the show version command to answer the following questions about the router. What is the name of the IOS image that the router is running?

Lab - Building a Switch and Router Network How much Flash memory does the router have?
b. Use the show version command to answer the following questions about the switch. What is the name of the IOS image that the switch is running?
How much dynamic random access memory (DRAM) does the switch have?
How much nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) does the switch have?
What is the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the G0/1 interface?
Step 4: Display a summary list of the interfaces on the router and switch.
There are several commands that can be used to verify an interface configuration. One of the most useful of these is the show ip interface brief command. The command output displays a summary list of the interfaces on the device and provides immediate feedback to the status of each interface. a. Enter the show ip interface brief command on the router. R1# show ip interface brief

Reflection
1. If the G0/1 interface showed administratively down, what interface configuration command would you use to turn the interface up?
2. What would happen if you had incorrectly configured interface G0/1 on the router with an IP address of 192.168.1.2?

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the router type and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
b. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC-B.
